I've been coding ever since before I was 13 years old. I had no PC, so I would write code on a piece of paper and then execute it in my mind. I work now for Russian Mission Control Center (dealing mainly with International Space Station telemetry), which is fun except that it's in Russia (not my kind of country, as I tend to respect laws and like quiet life). My hobbies are quantum mechanics and foreign languages, but I hardly devote any time to them because most of the time I either code or learn to code better. My dream is to live in Houston and work for NASA, but, sadly, it's an opportunity open only to US citizens, so I guess I'll have to keep on dreaming. For now.
